7.1 INTERFACE TYPES
TG3 series printers are equipped with an interface board to perform data communication with the host, an
external signal interface to connect peripheral devices to the printer, and an interface to connect a keypad to
the printer.
In order to provide flexibility in communicating with a variety of host computer systems, this printers use a
Plug-In Interface Module.
The following interface boards are available.
1) RS-232C (High-speed) interface board
2) IEEE1284 interface board
3) USB interface board
4) LAN interface board
5) Wireless LAN interface board
Caution
• Always turn the printer off before attaching or detaching an interface card. Otherwise, severe
electrical damage may be incurred, or bodily injury may be sustained.
• Never connect or disconnect interface cables (or use a switch box) with power applied to either
the host or printer. This may caused damage to the interface circuitry in the printer/ host and is
not covered by warranty.
